Ian Malouf, founder of Dial-a-Dump, has purchased the ANZ Tower penthouse owned by property developer John Boyd for a record $60 million.
The sale of the impressive apartment sets a national record for a single, built apartment.
Mr Malouf, who sold Dial-a-Dump in 2018 to Bingo Industries, bought the penthouse on Saturday night.
ANZ Tower “sky mansion” was initially listed in 2018, with a price guide of $60m – $66m with Bill Malouf of LJ hooker Double Bay and Christie’s Ken Jacobs. The sale is currently the most expensive residential sale in the country this year.
ANZ Tower was complete in 2013, with the home of Mr Boyd and his wife not yet finalised until 2015. Inside sees interiors by Blainey North spread across the 2000sqm abode.
The penthouse is accessed by an express lift from a private car park. The vast floor plan includes a conference room, club-like study, gym, cigar room, and unbelievable rooftop complete with swimming pool, two terraces and a cabana lounge.
Despite the penthouse’s record price, construction is underway of James Packer’s $60m two-storey apartment in Crown Residences at Barangaroo alongside a $140m consolidation of the top three floors of Lendlease’s neighbouring One Sydney Harbour Tower 1 development.

A Mid-Century Modern home in Carmel, California, hit the market on Friday for just the third time in 70 years with a listing price of $4.25 million.
Located in the community of Carmel Highlands, the house is just steps from the coastline and comes with private beach access, according to the listing with Tim Allen of Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California. Allen was not immediately available for comment.
The property last changed hands in 2010 when Hollywood screenwriter Richard Outten bought it for $990,000, public records show. Outten penned the screenplays for the 1992 movie “Pet Sematary Two” and the 1987 film “Lionheart,” and created the story for the 2012 “Journey to the Center of the Earth” sequel, “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.” He was not immediately available for comment.
Built in 1953, the home’s mid-century charm has been preserved over the years while still being updated for modern living. Interior details include wood paneling, exposed-brick walls and beamed ceilings.
The single-level house has 1,785 square feet, which includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Though not directly on the water, large windows flanking the adobe-brick, wood-burning fireplace look out at the ocean.
Sliding glass doors create a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. Outside, there’s a large patio surrounded by lush landscaping, and there are also meandering paths through sustainable succulent gardens, according to the listing.
In addition to its close proximity to the beach, the home is a 10-minute walk from downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea.
As of July, the median list price in Carmel is $3.1 million, up 8% from last year, even as active listings have increased 50% year over year, according to data from Realtor.com.
